Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of The Jones Group Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("we," "Jones" or the "Company"), based on our conversations with the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on November 14 and November 15, 2013, we hereby submit a revision to our November 8, 2013 response to the eighth comment contained in the comment letter dated October 29, 2013 from the Staff concerning the Company's above-referenced periodic filing.

To assist in your review, the Company's revised response follows the corresponding numbered comment in your letter.  The text of your comment appears in bold, and our revised response to that comment immediately follows.  In addition, we have included as Appendix A to this letter the revisions to the disclosure that we propose to incorporate in future filings in response to the eighth comment in your letter, marked to reflect changes from the corresponding disclosure in our Form 10-K filed on February 22, 2013.

Supplemental Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information, page 98

8. Please tell us your basis under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X for combining the parent company and the subsidiary issuers in the same column, rather than presenting them in separate columns. Please show us for 2012 what your consolidating financial information would look like if you had presented these columns separately. Please also confirm that no subsidiaries are guarantors only and not co-issuers. Refer to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, including the instructions for preparation of condensed consolidating financial information in paragraph (i).


In our future periodic reports, we will revise the disclosure under Supplemental Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information to specifically state that we have no subsidiaries that are guarantors only and not co-issuers or co-obligors.  We will also disaggregate the parent company from the "Issuers" column and present it in a separate column.  Our proposed revision of this disclosure is included in Appendix A.


The Company hereby acknowledges that:

·
The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

·
Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

·
The Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

We hope that you will find our responses to the comments of the Commission's staff satisfactory.  If further information regarding any aspect of this response letter is required, please contact the undersigned at (212) 703-9152 or Ira M. Dansky, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, at (212) 536-9526.
 
 
Very truly yours,

The Jones Group Inc. (the "parent company" or "Jones") and certain of its 100%-owned subsidiaries, including Jones Apparel Group, USA, Inc. ("Jones USA"), Jones Apparel Group Holdings, Inc.

The following condensed consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows for the parent company (Jones), the "Co-Issuers" (consisting of Jones USA, Jones Holdings and JAG Footwear, which are all our subsidiaries that act as co-issuers and co-obligors of the Notes) and the "Others" (consisting of all of our other subsidiaries, none of which guarantee any of the Notes), have been prepared using the equity method of accounting in accordance with the requirements for presentation of such information.  There are no contractual restrictions on distributions from Jones USA, Jones Holdings or JAG Footwear to Jones.
